Pittsburgh Steelers S Mike Mitchell expected to be released next week, although the team is open to bringing him back at a lower salary than the $5 million he is set to make in 2018, according to a source.

Pittsburgh Steelers FS Mike Mitchell likely will be released this offseason because he is scheduled to count $8.1 million against the salary cap in 2018, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac.

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joe Haden (fibula) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 24, and has been ruled out for the team's Week 12 game Sunday, Nov. 26, against the Green Bay Packers, while S Mike Mitchell (ankle) was a limited participant and is being considered questionable to suit up for the next game. Meanwhile, LB James Harrison (back) practiced in full.
